Justice Minister Wynter Kabimba has said he is prepared to cooperate with the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) to enable it conduct smooth investigations on allegations levelled against him.
Two weeks ago, Kabimba ferried PF hooligans to the Anti Corruption Commission, a move that attracted criticism from opposition members, civil society and ordinary members in the country.
According to the Times of Zambia, Kabimba said he would cooperate with ACC to close the chapter on corruption allegations regardless of the methods the commission would prescribe such as going to the media.
He was speaking in Livingstone yesterday when he featured on Falls FM’s Checking Point programme.
“I am a strong believer of ACC and I will cooperate with them so that we close this chapter.
“For instance, I have never said the investigations are political and being driven by political enemies. ACC is at liberty to investigate me and anyone in Government,” he said.
Kabimba said Zambia needed a strong ACC to fight corruption.
“We need to fight corruption in this country and if I am found to be corrupt, I must be subjected to the same law an ordinary citizen is subjected to,” he said.
Kabimba, who is also Patriotic Front (PF) Secretary General, was in Southern Province to meet party leaders in the districts to ensure that the ruling party gets stronger.
The justice minister and his counterpart Geoffrey Bwalya Mwamba commonly known as GBM are being investigated for corruption. GBM appeared for interrogations without media or cadre escort but Kabimba invited thugs to witness his interviews which was aborted.
